Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breath freely, sleep
soundly and undisturbed to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain
or ACHE to know that no poisonous, putrid
matter defles the breath, and rots away the
delicate machinery of smell, taste and hear
ing; to feel that the system does not, through
its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that
is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed q
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.
To purchase immunity from such a fate
should be the object of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and
physicians despair of relief or cure
SANFoRDs RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages.
1t is local and constitutional. Instant in re-
lieving, permanent in curing, safe, economi-
cal and never-failing.
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL. CURE, one box of CA
TARRHAL SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED IN
nALER, all wrapped in one package, with
treats and directions, and sold by all drug
gists for S1.OO.

Language of Noses.


The Roman nose denotes q propensity
for adventure.
A wide nose with open nostrils is a
mark of great sensuality.
A cleft nose shows benevolence-it
was the nose of st. Vincent de Paul.
A straight nose denotes just, serious,
fine, Judicious and energetic mind.
Nazography is the science of divining
the character, habits and inclinations Of
people by simple inspection of their
noses.
The curved, fieshy nose is mark of
domination and cruelty. Catherine de
Medici and Elizabeth of England had
noses Of this kind.
The curved, thin nose is mark of a
brilliant mind, hut vain and disposed to
be ironical. 1t is the nose of dreamer,
a poet, or a critic.
1t is desirable that the nose should be
as long as possible, this being sign of
merit, power and genius. For instance,
Napoleon and Caesar had large noses.
Ii the line of the nose be re-entrant-
that Is, II the nose be turned up-it de-
notes that its owner has weak mind,
sometimes coarse, and generally playful,
pleasant, or frOlicSOme.

STEPHEN WILL FIGHT.
What Sir George Thinks of Pre-
mier Norquay's Answer.

HIief NOfQudy AHSWcI.
Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Ma; pa special from
Montreal says Sir George, asked what
he thought of Premier NOrQuay's an
swer, replied: why, it is no answer
at all. Lot Spectators are at the bot
tom of the whole affair. What they
purpose doing is to built a road from
Winnipeg to the boundary. The real
object is not to furnish additional ac-
commOdatiOn, because that is not re-
quired, but to give American railways
control of the Canadian Pacific. Once
the Northern Pacific reaches Winnipeg
the Canadian Pacific is cut in two. do
not think the Manitoba legislature has
power to do what it proposes. Still If it
does it would be no great matter for the
Canadian Pacific to abandon its line west
of Sudbury and forward its west-bound
freight by the cheapest route
from there by Sault Ste. Marie.
Should the policy of NOrquay
be adhered to it would suit us better to
build direct from Selkirk to Portage La
Prairie, in fact to abandon the entire
road west of Sudbury. Then the Mani
toba people could utilize American
roads TO its hearts content" This reply
of Stephen, coupled with his telegram
to NOrquay, indicates the determination
of the Canadian Pacific railway to fight
to the bitter end the agitation raised
here. A direct line from Selkirk to
Portage would save the operation of
about twenty miles, and the me-, N eX-
pense of the construction of sue IA line
would be only from SeIkirk Stone
wall, as the company could utilize its
old roadbed from that point to Portage.
The Norquay government remains firm
in it's purpose to build to the boundary,
and Stewart, engineer, arrived Saturday

A Multicycle That May Play a Part
Y. in Military Maneuvers.

z. in Military Maneuvers.
london Daily News.
9tPeOple in many London thoroughfares
must have been considerably astonished
Yesterday by the appearance of a strange
looking vehicle speeding swiftly along
propelled by ten riders, who sat all in a
BOW like the crew of an elongated uni
Yersity rowing-boat. This novelty in
means of lOcomOtion was on its way to
Aldershot, where, by authority of the
var office, it will be tested with view
TO its adoption for military operations.
1t is the latest adaptation of the -four
finland" quadricycle, and it is intended
Tor the rapid transport of infantry from
one point to another.
When fully manned it carries twelve
men, who can take with them, il co.
dered, light baggage cart or ammuni-
ton wagon. The advantages of mount
ing men thus in single file, instead of
two or four abreast, are, first of all, that
the machine is more manageable, and,
second, that, power for power, it pre-
SCENTS less surface to strong headwind,
one of the obstacles most difficult for
cyclists to overcome.
The speed that can be got out of such
a machine by ten or twelve moderate
riders is quite surprising. Ten miles
an, hour would be considered low
average rate, and sixteen have been
easily accomplished.
1t is said to be affected less than
any other velocipede by any rough
ness in the thOroughfares, and
it passes over newly metaled
ease. All the tires are wired Oh the
Otto principle, so that they can not be
greatly damaged by cuts from sharp
stones. For men mounted thus there is,
OF course, considerable saving in
labor, and probably other advantages
might be claimed from military point
of view. These, however, are points
that will be fully tested at Aldershot
during the next week or so.
Yesterday machine manned by ten
riders, who did not take their baggage
van with them, set out from MeSsrS.
Singers warehouse on HOlbOrn viaduct
at o'clock, when the currents of traffic
were running strong in opposite direc-
tons. The whole control and steering
OF the machine is in the hands of one
man, and he yesterday had no apparent
difficulty in managing it, even where the
thoroughfare was most densely crowded.
1t turned easily enough in less space
than hanson would have needed, and
threaded its way among many vehicles
without mishap, though the drivers of
. cabs and Omnibuses neglected their
+ own business to gaze at the
strange apparitiOn as it sped past
them. The crew in charge of this
multicycle are all trained vOlun
teers, who will be able to execute any
military evolution that may be de-
mended of them with intelligence, and
altogether the experiment is one in
terest. This latest novelty in veloci-
pedes has not yet been submitted to the
agents of any Continental power, and
will be subjected to its first practical
trial for military purposes at AlderShot.

Dakota Commissioners.

Special to the Globe
HURON, Oak, May 22.-The grain and
warehouse law as passed by the last
Dakota general assembly has given
to railroad commissioners some
trouble. They read, but do not interpre-
tate alike, and i'll consequence have
been unable to agree on all points. Last
week Mr.. BOynton, of the commission,
was here in conference with N.
I. Smith on questions involved in
the law above referred to and
it is understood that the commission
will meet in Fargo the 1st of June for
the purpose of arranging for immedi-
ately putting into operation the grain
and warehouse law. Between forty and
fifty thousand sample cases for grain
will be necessary to supply the elevators
and warehouses in Dakota. The COM
mission is progressing with its work as
rapidly and satisfactory as could be ex-
Dected.

CALHOUN'S DREAM.
An Anecdote Which Was Not Told
at the Monument dwelling.
Boston Advertiser.

Boston Advertiser.
A correspondent of the Mississippi
Wing has cut from an anonymous
pamphlet an account of dream of Mr..
Calhoun about the time of the stormy
sectional agitations which preceded
the adoption of the compromise meas
ureS of 1850.
Mr.. Calhoun, it seems. was drawing
up plan for the dissolution of the
Union, when, late at night, being very
much fatigued, he fell asleep, and had
the following dream, as related by him
self:
''At late hour last night, as 1 was
sitting in my room writing, was sur
priSed at the very unceremOniOuS en-
lance of a visitor, who came in and took
a seat beside me. | was greatly annoyed,
as | had given strict orders to the Serv-
ants that | should on no account what
ever be disturbed.
''The manner in which he entered.
perfectly self-pOssessed, taking seat
opposite me, without word, no saluta-
ton, no apology, as though my room
and all within belonged to him, excited
i'll me as much surprise as Indignation.
AS raised my head to look at him over
the top of my shaded lamp discovered

my view, and, as l raised my head he
said:
""What are you writing, senator from
South CarOlinaT l did not think of his
impertinence at first. but answered him,
involuntarily: L am drawing up plan
for the dissolution Of the American
Union To this the intruder replied, in
the coolest manner possible:
"'Senator from South Carolina, will
you allow me to look at your right
hand?'
'.He arose, and as he did so the cloak
fell, and | beheld-great God, gentle
men-I beheld the form of George
Washington!
''AS though had no power to resist,

strange chill peryade me at his touch.
He grasped it and held it near the light.
thus affording me time to examine every
feature of his face, and particularly of
his person. 1t was the face of Wash
ington, and he was dressed in the uni
form of the revolution. After holding
my hand for a moment, looking steadily
at me, he said in a quiet way:
'''And with this right hand, senator
of South Carolina, you would sign your
name to a paper declaring this Union
